I don't think longer standoffs are the answer. Then longer ones are most likely going to be too long. Cases back then we're usually just not made to specs that they should have been. If you have any of those red washers, try putting one or two on top of the standoffs near the back of the case. That …

What is at the other end of the audio cable that is plugged into the Mitsumi card? Looks to me like there are two cables and one should go to the CD-ROM drive and the other to the sound card.

From the manual: "A RAID 0 or RAID 1 array is also available by software configuration." Sounds to me like you have to configure RAID in Windows after installing the RAID driver... but that can't be right. Found an old forum post about this. Looks like you press Tab (mash furiously) after powering …

Nip! You also stated that the snapping of the stock Intel CPU HSF must have been some kind of user error on my part. I've build over a 100 systems of that era and taken apart and repaired literally hundreds of systems from that era and I can tell you that the snapping of this particular piece of …

Might be interested in the motherboards. I'm mostly interested in the CLCC board (the third one). Are you willing to use Parcel Monkey for shipping if it's cheaper than USPS (I think it is for that weight)? Ok. So for all 3 shipped via Parcel Monkey, it looks like it would be $43.47 US - shipping …

Seems like that cache module is for a Prosignia VS 486 PC, which I don't have unfortunately. However if no one else wants it and the alternative is to throw it away then I'll take it on the very remote chance I obtain a Compaq Prosignia VS some day. Ok, I'll wait to see if anybody else wants it …

Get an account on hardforum.com and post in the PSU forum. They should be able to give you a bit more info from your pic and may ask for some more pics. My guess is that it is trash.

You guys mention 7900 GTX and 7950 GT, but those have 512mb vram... I thought win98 wouldn't like cards with this much vram so you would have to put the cutout point at 7800 GTX 256mb or 7900 GT 256mb? I have a win9x setup with a 7900GTX in it. Seems to work ok. The modded drivers supposedly …

Almost forgot... 3x Compaq 286 motherboards. Only 1 has BIOS chips but 2 of them do have CPUs - both 12Mhz. One intel and one AMD. One has a bit of RAM. Probably want to ship these all to the same person so they can at least get 1 going... maybe all of them. The power supply for these is proprietary …
